GREEN DAY LYRICS

"Working Class Hero"

[John Lennon cover]

As soon as your born they make you feel smallBy giving you no time instead of it allTill the pain is so big you feel nothing at allA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at schoolThey hate if you're clever and they despise a foolTill you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rulesA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd yearsThen they expect you to pick a careerWhen you can't really function you're so full of fearA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,A working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you stillBut first you must learn how to smile as you killIf you want to be like all the folks on the hillA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to beA working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero, well just follow meIf you want to be a hero, well just follow me

John Lennon was a heroic figure to guys of my generation - opposing the Vietnam war, campaigning for world peace, speaking out against hypocrisy and bigotry, and just so many amazing songs. Sorry Melliferal....including "Imagine".

I saw him in concert about 1974 and it was amazing - except I wished Yoko Ono would just shut up!

Much love,Larry
